Just kidding, but that's what I thought when I first saw it: who is this Milestone person?

It just means a post has received 25 replies, 50 replies, etc.

No one will ever know.

Of course, it's really a very good question, not stupid at all. I use the filter to eliminate the milestones and avoid that distraction, but to each his own.
